みんなのしつもん (questions）３

• What are differences among 「Sが、〜」、「Sけど」、「S。でも、〜」?

We learned「Sが、〜」today as "but". There are other ways to say "but" in Japanese, and「Sけど」and「S。でも、〜」are two of them.

• 「Sけど」(L20): an informal equivalent of「Sが、〜」
• 「S。でも〜」(L12): "but"; the difference between「Sが、〜」and「S。でも〜」is how they connect two sentences. While「が」is directly attached to the preceding sentence, 「でも」must come after the finished sentence (i.e., sentence with a period).
More formal version of「でも」is「しかし」. It's probably used only in formal writing such as a report.

きょう、クラスでミュージックビデオをみましたね。スピッツの「はるか」です。



なつのいろにあこがれてた　ふつうのまいにち
ながされたり　さからったり　つづくほそいみち

きみとめぐりあって　もういちどさなぎになった
うそとほんとうのはざまで　きえかけたぼくが

おもいでからつぎはぎした　かなしいだいありー
かぎもかけず　たびだつのは　すこしこわいけど

おかのうえにたって　おおきくかぜをすいこんで
いま　こころからいえるよ　においそうな　I LOVE YOU

すぐにとべそうなきがしたせなか
ゆめからさめないつばさ

ときのよはく　ぬりつぶした　あくびのあとで
しあわせとかやぼなことば　むねにだいたままで

こわれそうなみらいを　はだしでかけぬけるような
そんなうらわざもないけど　あしたにはきっと

ぼくらそれぞれ　あおぎみるそら
ゆめからさめないつばさ

とべそうなきがしたせなか
ゆめからさめないつばさ

それぞれ　あおぎみるそら
ゆめからさめないつばさ

とおいとおい　はるかなばしょへ　

ポッドキャストをしましょう！

Goals: You will have the chance to...

1. Actively express your opinions to a real audience in Japanese.
2. Consider first-hand how big media operates and presents information
   

Audience:

The worldwide audience of Japanese-speakers interested in New York, Columbia University, or life at an American university – and also your classmates, of course!

Content:

We will create approx. 5-minute radio or TV programs about life at Columbia University or in New York City.

Steps:

1. Discuss what constitutes a good podcast.
2. Everyone will decide on the criteria that we will use to critique our own and each other’s podcasts.
3. Keeping #2 in mind, we will form groups of 2-3 people and create podcasting scripts. Everyone will write scripts that should be of interest to a Japanese university student curious about life at an American university or in a big city in the U.S.
4. We practice reading the scripts in a natural manner. (If it is necessary, students should memorize their scripts. The point is that the scripts must NOT sound stilted and unnatural).
5. Record the podcasts. Resources are available at: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/japaneseaudio/podcasting/info.html
6. Listen to or watch your classmates’ podcasts and make comments. (Examples: Grammar mistakes; Boring; etc.).
7. Correct and improve the scripts based on feedback from your classmates.
8. Record a second time.
9. We post the podcasts online (blog and iTunes), and allow a worldwide audience to listen or watch.
10. Listen to or watch the podcasts created by you and your classmates; critique them.

みんなのしつもん (questions）２

My answers to some questions asked in class today...

• "I miss you"は、にほんごでなんですか。
「あなたにあえなくて、さみしい」です。Replace あなた with the person's name if you have someone in particular in mind.

• Particle に marks the destination ("to" in English) or time (at, in). Why is it used in わたしは ふかいせんせいににほんごをならいます?
Some particles have many meanings, and に is one of them. According to one grammar book I have, に has 8 meanings! Each meaning surfaces depending on which noun, verb, or construction に is used with. With ならいます／かります, に is used to mark the origin: In the example above, knowledge of にほんご comes from ふかいせんせい, i.e., the origin of にほんご is ふかいせんせい, so you mark ふかいせんせい with に.

にほんごでかきませんか

Now you've learned some verbs, you can tell us what you do/did. For example...

せんしゅうのきんようびに、わたしのともだちは、わたしのうちへきました。わたしは、ともだちとにほんのテレビをみました。それから、たこやきをたべました。(^^) 　たこやきのしゃしんをとりました。しゃしんは、ここです。

こんしゅうのしゅうまつ（weekend）に、にほんごでブログをかきませんか。

みんなのしつもん (questions）

My answers to some questions asked in class today...

• Weren't there any restaurants in Japan before?
I think レストラン refers to a place where Western-style dishes are served. Since Japan had been closed to foreign countries until the late 19th century, I suppose there weren't any レストラン... We have words like 飲食店（いんしょくてん）and 料理店（りょうりてん）which I think are Japanese equivalents of レストラン. The first one means "a store where you drink and eat" and the second "a store of cooking."

• My high school friend said ヤニ-something means "to smoke"...
I looked it up in an online dictionary and found that ヤニる is a slang for "to smoke." ヤニ is cigarette tar, and people started to use it as a synonym of たばこ in colloquial speech. Then, る, a suffix that verbifies a noun, was attached to ヤニ to make it a verb "to smoke."
